Bone crafts with incredible value
« on: November 01, 2006, 10:09:00 am »

I just got my first caravan since the -e version and some of my items made out of bone  of the basic, "Finely Crafted", and "Superior Quality" types are worth over 1 million base price.  Strangely enough, the "Well-Crafted" and "Exceptional" type items are only worth 1 coin.  I can't tell how much Masterpiece items are worth, but then I don't think I have any.

The effected materials are "Groundhog Bone" and "Horse Bone".  The totems of that creature, made out of skulls, are similarly priced.

I assume there was some kind of typo when adjusting totem prices or something?  All my other totems are more reasonably priced now, instead of being worth 500 base.

Did you mod any of the game files?

Nope.

Edit:  Hey, now the Dwarven caravan came and the prices are back to normal.  I think this might only apply to the Humans.  I wonder why?  I'll confirm it next year.

Well the human caravan's here again and my groundhog and horse bone crafts are back to normal value.  So, I dunno what happened but it was temporary.  Maybe it was a bug with the Human Merchant Prince's agreement?

I know that sometimes crafters will transmute items when they decorate them. That is-- a silk glove will rarely turn into gold when decorated with shell.
